XIOS

One of the great cities of Eptemia, Xios was locked in a constant rivalry with Delophis for supremacy over the other cities of Eptemia. Beginning with the Exclusion War of 780 BLC, which Xios temporarily won, bickering continued on into the Great Eptemian War that began in 510 BLC without significant gain, and exhausted their respective military resources, leaving Eptemia in general open for invasion by the Ithrayans in 478 LC.
